Thanks Fred. Your car gave me the motivation to paint the car GT3 RS Green.

I ask because at some point I am planning on putting the TechArt II kit on my Turbo and it comes with that nose...

I am also wondering if the front splitter helps understeer, and if so what speeds is it noticeable at

Cheers,

Alex I dont drive with the splitter on. If I did it would be broken in 2 minutes. I only put the splitter on for photoshoots.

I wouldn't go over about 80mph then otherwise your aerodynamics will be messed up! Very light nose feeling due to the lack on downforce....

Your car looks awesome! But I think you should have some black mesh screens fabricated for the vents in the rear bumper, I think it would look just a little bit more refined. Other than that, it's beautiful!!!

Car was in the shop for over 1 year waiting on parts. In the end it was worth it. The CEC white GT Street is up for sale for $230,000

Good lord that is amazing.


I hate to nit-pick, but is a 315 the biggest tire you could fit on there with a 12" wide wheel? Or does it have to do with the size and circumference to match the front because of the AWD?

I actually had a 345/25/20 on a 12.5 wheel during SEMA just for the show. I had to drop back down to a 325/25/20 on a 11.5 wheel after to match the rolling diameter since I wanted to stay in AWD configuration and not blow up my diff.

Absolutely beautiful ride. Give it one of those crazy 900hp plus sledgehammer kits and your looking at potentially the greatest 997TT to date.
